luckykaaSo, caught up with the tech guy at last. Did some volunteering. Not really sure I'm all that useful though. Next time will try to be a little more involved beforehand.
Kev F Sutherland - comic writer for Beano, Doctor Strange and a bunch of others, as well as the Sock Puppet Theatre gave a talk about his comic book masterclass - where he teaches kids and adults about making comics. Lots of really useful stuff there. Also really nice guy. He wanted a pad of paper so I donated my cheapy drawing pad to the cause.
Bought one of his comics. Chatted a bit about Look-In and other retro stuff.
Other stuff was a talk on missions to Jupiter and a Blankety Blank game. Talk on steampunk was unfortunately cancelled because the presenter couldn't make it to con because of Covid.
Chatted to a couple of people. One of them was a very charming man with a biiig bushy beard, and a lot of experience of places I knew about. Another was someone with a lot of knowledge of space missions but seemed to be unable to stop talking to let others get a word in edgeways.
There's a scavenger hunt. Moons of Jupiter (there are a lot of them) are scattered around the convention. Small bits of paper with a picture of a moon, and a code. I found most of them Still missing about 5.
Was hungry so I went to find food somewhere cheaper than the hotel. 10 minutes away was a very nice indoor street market place. I appear to have developed a homing instinct for the hipster district. Actually nothing particularly exotic, but a decent enough selection of food types. I had spicy chicken and chips, then went to another stall and had an ice cream. They had chocolate dipped waffle cones! How could I say no?
Didn't sleep well last night so decided to turn in early and have a bath.
